Our engineering team is architecting a family of products that handle over a billion files a day. We take on the complexities of technology that affect everyday life, so that people can get back to living and doing their best work.

Dropbox's Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) team is a hybrid software/systems group which works with traditional software engineering, capacity engineering, and infrastructure teams to ensure that Dropbox runs smoothly. Managing a SRE team requires a high degree of technical mastery, the ability to brutally prioritize and execute, and a focus on growing teams both by recruiting and mentorship.
